  1. I guess you'd get multiple copies, and could promptly store one so it would remain perfectly preserved.
  2. Read the broadsheet closely and you'll notice that he actually says that the Koloss claim they can turn others into Koloss, and are planning to do that to him. So presumably the old spikes still work.
  3. I don't think it's supernatural; Vin actually also did it kind of subconsciously, acting exactly like a noblewoman or summoning up the power of dramatic inspirational speeches when cornered by worshipers. Wayne's just more conscious of the fact that a uniform, a clipboard, and acting like you have every right to be there will get you anywhere and exploits it more actively. You might think that Vin also doing it might indicate it's supernatural, but it totally happens in real life. Like when a comedy show crew got most of the way into an international summit by sticking Canadian flags on a limo. I did say anywhere.
  4. I'm thinking TLR used his massively powerful pewter to severely reduce his need for gold compounding. Plus he apparently used non-compounded metalminds, hence the non-implanted jewelry. I guess "old time" was a result of his constantly-increasing need for stored youth, as by the end he'd need to store an amount equivalent to being a thousand years old per second he spent being twenty. He doesn't apparently stop tapping his youth entirely, though, since when the bracers are removed he collapses almost instantly.

    Bloody Tan

    Seems unlikely to me that Sazed/Marsh would have gotten a bunch of people intentionally killed to move Wax back to the city. It'd be far more in character for them to simply have Marsh show up one day and tell him to, or send a Kandra. Even discounting that, shooting Lessie with an Aluminum bullet would have had a lower body-count and probably been more effective. That being said, something is definitely up with Tan. Note: in the "gallery" the geologist is posed studying rocks, and someone else is posed flying, therefore presumably is a coinshot. And Tan uses knives, with no mention of them being Aluminum or Obsidian. So even granted that the coinshot was probably just a regular dude with no combat experience who liked easy mode Le Parkour, taking him down with knives without some special advantage doesn't seem in the cards. A Steel Ferring or double twinborn could have done it, but that leads to the question of why he didn't dodge the next shot. It could be he's got an unorthodox mix because of Hemalurgy, but how'd he find the bind points? Given that no one considers the idea that the kidnappings were intended to provide Mistings to spike, and the newspaper Koloss story indicates that no one realizes Koloss are Hemalurgic, it appears Sazed left it out of his book in some manner. Electrum seems unlikely, it shows a cloud of possible futures (it and gold are paired because they're internal, Atium and Malatium are external) but it's like looking at the shadow cloud produced by opposing Atium burners, and presumably it would contain not only Tan getting shot, but also Tan dodging to the left, Tan ducking, Tan dodging to the right, Tan getting shot as a result of any of those, Tan rushing Wax and getting shot, Tan rushing Wax and not getting shot, etc. In theory he could be a Mistborn, but the whole "dying from a single steel bullet" makes that somewhat unlikely even beyond them not being believed to exist at this point in time. Atium synthling (we need a name for people with Hemalurgically gained powers, and I personally like this one) would be a possibility, I guess. Sazed might not be making new Atium, but burned Atium was inaccessible to Ruin, so the existing Atium power stock is presumably floating around waiting for geodes to solidify into.
  6. It's worth noting Miles went kind of nuts with the number of metalminds he had. We're talking 30 gold implants at any given time, while TLR had two bracers. That's presumably why TLR carried on a conversation with two spears in his chest instead of them just popping out. Plus, Compounding consumes the metal, and the bracers were apparently an Atium alloy and therefore in short supply.
  7. New guy here. I'm thinking: Copper: Toggle, turning it on will cancel out your bronze Bronze: Toggle, sound (can be turned off in options menu) and provides an aura around detected people Tin: Toggle, while on loud noises will replace your audio with the "ringing" effect from Half-Life 2 and a slow effect, bright lights will blur everything Pewter: Toggle and a Flare button, provides bonus "hit points" but subtracts the amount added from the amount you have when it runs out, actions complete faster, movement is faster, bonus jump height, damage reduction, more damage dealt. Iron/Steel: Tough ones, because the interface needs to support jumping around like spiderman on the moon but also not result in cause of death: failed to perform vector addition in head during a combat situation. Brass/Zinc: conversation system? I could see some really interesting gameplay where you have to decide how strongly to push/pull to get what you want without tipping people off. Using on Koloss or Inquisitors or Kandra results in the message: You seem to have mistaken yourself for some sort of divine figure. Okay, maybe not in those words. Gold: Cutscene exclusive Atium: People who are not burning Atium/Electrum automatically fail at any attacks, parries, or dodges relating to you Electrum: You don't get this, it's Inquisitor-only. Duranium: Inquisitor-only
